The Dropout

The incredible story of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of the US company Theranos, is at the center of the Disney+ TV series The Dropout. The role of the protagonist was entrusted to the talented Amanda Seyfried, known to the public for the film Mamma Mia! and its sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and for TV series such as Veronica Mars and Twin Peaks: The Return.

Because The Dropout TV series is among the best: Who isn't fascinated by bad characters? Seyfried draws a cynical character, devoid of empathy, who fails to have an evolution. Her fixity is determined by a desire for success that leads her to always go forward despite everything, despite what she proposes to do is not achievable except through a scam. If you are a fan of Naveen Andrews, the unforgettable Sayid from the TV series Lost, thanks to The Dropout you have the opportunity to see him in the role of Ramesh Sunny Balwani, Elizabeth Holmes' partner.

Jeff Bridges is one of Hollywood's most popular actors, with a résumé that boasts starring roles in films such as The Big Lebowski, True Grit, Crazy Heart, Starman and The Fisher King. In the Disney+ original TV series he plays Dan Chase, a former CIA agent who is forced to go on the run after a hitman tries to kill him.

Dan has a very particular ability to be a real magician of disguises. For this reason, tracking him down won't be easy for his enemies.

Because The Old Man TV series is among the best: Because it's a TV series that doesn't intend to shock the audience or put them in front of innovative narrative techniques. The Old Man simply wants to do his job, which is to tell a solid espionage story with elements of action. To do this, he relies on the incredible talent of Bridges, who in the 7 episodes of the TV series adopts three other different personalities for as many disguises as the spy Dan Chase. In each of these disguises Jeff Bridges is completely immersed in the part, so much so that it is sensationally effective.
